I am accredited by the College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario and am a Canadian Certified Counsellor. I hold a Master’s degree in Counselling Psychology (M.Ed.) from the University of Ottawa.

My practice supports individuals navigating anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, grief and loss, role and identity changes related to becoming a parent, menopause, illness, and other significant life challenges. I work primarily with adults experiencing anxiety, chronic overthinking, emotional overwhelm, feeling stuck, and the lasting impact of difficult life experiences.

I use evidence-based approaches, including EMDR therapy and psychotherapy, to support healing, self-understanding, resilience, and personal growth. Together, we work to process difficult experiences, develop greater emotional awareness, and create meaningful, lasting change.

Before becoming a therapist, I spent more than a decade working directly with clients in a variety of social service agencies and community programs. That experience continues to shape my practice, where I prioritize responsibility, integrity, and compassion while creating a warm, collaborative, and supportive therapeutic relationship.

Clients often tell me they value having a space where they can speak openly without judgment, slow down, and make sense of what they are experiencing. We move at a pace that feels manageable and respectful of your individual needs, with no expectation to share more than you are ready for.

As my practice has grown, I have welcomed Anna Seifried, Susan Alexander, and Natasha Milloy to Laura Murton Psychotherapy & Associates. Together, we are committed to providing a warm, safe, and compassionate environment where clients feel supported in their healing and personal growth. While each therapist brings their own unique experience and areas of focus, we share a commitment to creating a space where clients feel seen, understood, and supported.

We offer both in-person and online therapy for clients in Ottawa and across Ontario. We welcome you to connect with us to learn more or to book a free consultation.
